Reminding us that the Middle East has always served as the arena for great power conflict, this is the tale of an internecine struggle in which Britain would discover that her most formidable rival was the ally she had assumed would be her closest friend." -- provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 401-427) and index. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z Middle East. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Foreign relations $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Middle East. 651 0 $a Middle East $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Great Britain. 651 0 $a Middle East $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Foreign relations $y 1945- 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1945-1989. 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011920.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060724.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190103014939.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180907012013.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CF3B0A2CB26311E8BB1AE23C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
